Comments Off on Thinking outside the envelope…
During the Values class on Tuesday, the class was split into 5 groups, each group receiving the same big brown envelope (or so we thought). We were then all given the same task of thinking of and creating something that we would have found useful as new university students, using only the supplies given to […]

Comments Off on Structural Inequalities
In our first workshop last week we had the task of working in groups to create something a new student at the university could use. Each group was given an envelope of supplies and after opening our envelope we discovered it was going to be more difficult than originally expected; we had one post-it note, […]

This was my first class with this lecturer and I was excited to understand more about the topic; values. Once everyone arrived we were instructed to make something from our resource pack […]

Comments Off on Structural Inequalities
On Tuesday we had a group task to complete, which I found very eye-opening after learning the true meaning behind it. It was very hard to believe that an aspect so present in society could be so easily missed. In our groups we had to work with the resources we were given to develop an […]

Comments Off on I have maths anxiety. Do you?
Do I like maths? I have to answer that from my own experience with a resounding no. Actually, in school I hated maths. This got me thinking, is that not a worryingly common phrase, which is not quietly muttered by pupils but instead shouted with pride and worn as a badge of honour? Too often, […]

Comments Off on Values Workshop Reflection
The Values workshop on Tuesday was an interesting and thought provoking experience which shed a great deal of light on structural inequalities in society and how easy it is for us to not even notice them. The group I was part of had the most resources and encouragement from the tutor, making me totally oblivious […]

Comments Off on Why I chose to teach
Primary Education is arguably the most important stage of a child’s education, it provides the foundation blocks of their futures. Personally I was lucky enough to have experienced this, my primary 6 teacher has been and will continue to be my inspiration as a teacher. It wasn’t just how she taught me, it was about […]

Comments Off on Structural Inequalities and the Dreaded Half Mark
Our first Values seminar was a brilliant deceit and I ate it up. It began with our tutor giving each group a envelope of goodies- and by goodies I mean a load of random stationary- which we had to use to come up with a concept that would have helped us when we first started […]

Comments Off on Memorable School Experience: Class Act
Reflecting on my school experiences I realised I didn’t have one that really stood out to me from primary school (not unless you include the trip to the National Museum of Scotland when one of my classmates got their head stuck in a fancy-dress costume!) So instead I thought about memorable high school experiences and […]

Comments Off on My Thoughts and Opinions on Interdisciplinary Learning
I think interdisciplinary learning can be an effective tool in schools and can provide fantastic learning opportunities for children. For our ‘Developing Effective Teaching and Learning’ module, we have been asked to read 3 pieces of literature and discuss how that correlates to what our understanding of Interdisciplinary learning (IDL) is. Through this reading, my […]

Comments Off on Professional Values Workshop
On Tuesday, I got to experience myself just how much of an impact a child’s background has on their ability to do well in school. I have read many articles on closing the attainment gap and how children from deprived areas are not as likely to be successful in school, I know that this is […]
